Re: 2008 Draft Thread
I don't think Collison will be a good pro at all. He'll just get out muscled and quicked. Look at his performance in the tournament. My quick is quicker than your quick.
Also, as for Hansbrough, for those who think he won't hack it in the NBA..think a slightly shorter David Lee. A better Eduardo Najera maybe. A less athletic Ronnie Turiaf. The point is that there is a role for the energetic hustle player in the league. Usually not as a starter, but as a vital 7-8th man. Is he worth a lottery pick? Based on "upside" and risk/reward, probably not. But, will Hansbrough be the 13th (or better) player, career wise, from his draft. That's a definite possibility. That's the bind he's really in though. He'll be in the league in some capacity for a decade, whereas the guy drafted before him might flame out after his rookie deal.
